After my abominable slander of Orodreth yesterday I thought I should write something rather more respectful about him today.

Would he have called his uncle/brother Felagund? Or Finrod? Not that I have a problem with the name Felagund or anything.... ;)

Thanks! I was thinking something like that, but I didn't want to make it explicit.

I don't have the books with me to check, but I think that Finrod was still Inglor Felagund at that point. (and Finarfin was Finrod) I didn't want to confuse the issue by using Inglor, so that only left Felagund! This is the first fic I've written with Orodreth as Finrod's brother, but again that's because he was in HoME IV and V.

Haughty Feanorians till the end, that's good, I love also Curufin just smiling in the answer.
A glimpse of Celebrimbor might be a good addition here.
[If it doesn't make sense forgive me, I am really tired today.]

This is my first attempt at a serious Orodreth, so I'm glad he comes across well. I figured there had to be something about him to make him worthy of Finrod's trust.
Tolkien hadn't invented Celebrimbor back then, or he would definitely have made an appearance. *secret Celebrimbor fan briefly looks out of the closet*

It's as if Orodreth knows what his doom will be, but sees hope beyond the end.
I've never thought of Orodreth in a very positive light, but you have successfully portrayed him here as both wise and kind. Very nice.
